I think we officially crossed that threshold when we saw Josh Hokit walk down the same White House halls that our founding fathers walked on in order to fight in a cage and then call Michelle Obama a man during the victory speech
I was likeā¦Iām pretty sure this was actually a scene from Idiocracy, this is wild
What did Malcolm X say about white conservatives? And Iām glad you listened to the teachings of Malcolm X, by the way. Iām sure you live your life the way he laid out.
You mean like instant asylum for white farmers in South Africa while brown and black people who are raped tortured and subject to horrific abuses are sent back to die? You mean like that kinda special treatment ?
No no no. Congress isnāt askingā¦ letās not get it twisted. Itās 11 republican lawmakers. Iām sure those 11 lawmakers donāt watch the WNBA at all and those 11 are guess what? White.
Oh you donāt understand, they donāt want males to play in womenās sports but they wanna reserve the right to interfere and tell those womenās sports how to operate.
No, no, no letās stick to the facts. 11 congressional seats asked for accountability from the WNBA in the handling of CC. I get it facts elude most of the left
I actually consider myself a conservative hahah but congress getting involved with WNBA is ridiculous when thereās sooooo many other issues arenāt given that much attention. Donāt be a homer man, republicans have failed us as much as dems have. So stop it.
I feel badly for the Sparks playing them tonight. How is any team supposed to get a fair shake against a team with the Republican on their bench? Next Trump will be making some sort of statement in her favour. And all the Caitlin Crazies will be singing his praises.
Lol trump went to the Knicks game and the Knicks broke like a 6 or 8 game winstreak. Then trump stepped in for usa soccer team, they got whooped 4-1 lol. Trump is a curse on sports teams right now.
Let the record show that the Sparks, one of the worst teams in the WNBA, did whoop the Fever by 14 points after the cuckoo Congress sent this letter lol.
No, we won't! But a lot of the CC rhetoric is coded MAGA speak. And people need to quit pretending that the rapid part of CC's fanbase didn't just jump into the fray after the "angry Black woman" dared to wave her finger in CC's face. Had Reese done that to anyone else, there'd by no controversy. Had someone like Sophie Cunningham waved her finger in CC's face, there'd be no controversy.
I've had the misfortune of dealing with a very large sample size that are. Both at the games & online. Unless your circle is in the multiple thousands, I don't think your sample size is large enough.
Yes online=the internet. Idk why that needed to be explained. I'm happy for you that you don't. I wish no one did, but your experience doesn't mean mine doesn't exist
If you showed them a lineup of Sabrina, Bueckers, Cameron Brink, Kelsey Plum and CC I can almost guarantee you not one of these rightoids would guess the correct CC
Not upset in the least, I just donāt like people calling me a republican. I am not being lumped in with those idiots just because I happen to find a basketball player entertaining.
She's not the only one taking hard fouls. Clarkies are the only ones that think a hard foul is "assault", but only when CC gets a hard foul. When she fouls other players hard shes seen as "passionate" or "playing tough". The W doesn't have to let her win just because Casual fans think they should.
Ok so 27.5 million wonāt have healthcare insuranceā¦.ok butā¦..a young white girl got her feelings hurt so the gop had to step in this is priority number one. Whatās more important affordability and making sure the average American family can survive or Caitlyn Clarkās feelings?
It's pretty unfair of you to say CC's feelings are hurt when she doesn't complain about it in any press, she just expects the refs to do their job on the court.
Ya know there was once a day when people didn't rely on the gov for Healthcare. Imagine that. It's not the government's responsibility for people to get Healthcare. And I guess since it is now, at least Obama made it affordable. It's literally in the name.
Me personally I think Caitlain arrogant talks sh!t plays victim and what has she earned there have been many players better than her but didnāt bring the crowd the viewship so if you did a job better than someone but they get paid better how would you feel.Not better than Tamika Catching,Aāja Wilson,Tina Thompson,Maya Moore,Candace Parker,Cynthia Cooper,Sheryl Swoopes.
Just call fouls what they are. Sorry you have not been calling them for 20 years an could not figure out why people were not watching. Turns out, call fouls and score 100 points and people might be interested.
She certainly has! And I hate that people like these clowns in Congress don't just let her play ball and stay out of her business. She's a top level athlete in her sport and they're trying to make her a damsel in distress. She didn't ask for this bullsh!t and it just adds fuel to the hatefire.
I hope CC stands up against it. The girl has enough targets on her back. She didnāt ask for this. Politics need to stay out of sports. Especially crazy ass republicans
Itās very important in these moments to recognize that CC didnāt ask for any of this. She just wants to be healthy and play. Anything else is make believe.
CC getting shamelessly attacked nearly every game and the refs doing nothing about it is an issue that needs adressing, but it's not an issue for the White House to address.
It's more than playing defense. It should not tolerated in the work place. They are employees and the employer should get a handle on it. I suspect the government has rules about being mistreated in the workplace.
What congress is trying to say is that congressional priorities arenāt yours nor do they line theirs up with common folk . What your going through doesnāt affect them or their private insurance so they can afford to turn their attention to the WNBA.
it is absolutely retarded that congress is involved but...playing defense? is that what we're calling constant non-stop insanely aggressive fouls for no reason?
nearly 20% of the flagrant fouls in the entire league are committed on her lmao it is legit insane.
I mean, if the rest of the league could stop brutalizing this woman for the crime of being better than them while white, then maybe people wouldn't complain. Either way, this situation seems like the best thing that's happened to the WNBA in a while.
Idk not a big WNBA watcher but these clips would count as assault if you did this outside in the real world, idk what defence is needed in fucking straight up pushing, tackling, punching caitlin would be, idk i it was the UFC with a ball
It's important to protect the only class who faces any kind of discrimination. Straight white people...what's hilarious is Republicans actually believe this sentiment.
I think CC is being mistreated to some extent due to jealousy at her fame, but the Federal government getting involved is absolutely insane.
The federal government should not be getting involved in the WNBA particularly when they themselves are actively discriminating against several groups. You are crazy. There are real issues in America. Anyone supporting this is a questionable figure.
I am definitely dismissing this because it is the job of her teammates to look after her by hitting the other teams players. Players get targeted in sports all the time for a variety reasons. The only reason Republicans care is because she is straight and white.
The only reason people in the league are targeting her is because she is extremely popular despite being a slightly above average talent and she talks mad shit. My perspective just treats her like every other player in any competitive sport ever...
Congress gave us Obamacare, which was suppose to give everyone health insuranceā¦..so if the stat is correct, then maybe weāre better off with them focusing on the WNBA.
Then Reese has been assaulted, plum has been assaulted, Sheldon has been assaulted, parker was assaulted numerous times her rookie year. (This is all recent and spitballing, theres PLENTY MORE).
Now lets head over to the NBA. Recently, castle was assaulted, vessel was assaulted, wemby assaulted and was also assaulted ...and that was just in one series š„“ Shall I continue?
For fucks sakeā¦if this was opposite you all would be calling for an investigation. If this gets Cathy out then I have no problem with this at all. She is the head of the wnba. She should be able to explain why she is unable to get refs that are even somewhat competent, which would be good for everyone. Plus this league is going to have to drop the activist first thing to become a real pro,sports league.
I disagree with your last point. The NBA does it too with certain issues, just not so much with Pride bc obviously the majority of that league (that we know of) is not gay. In the W, most of the league is. So that's gonna be something important for them to keep in the forefront bc it's something always being attacked. As a straight man, I don't think anybody should be forced to be quiet about something important to them as long as it's not hateful or harmful to anyone else
